Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jahar's seizures are initiated by smelling roses, which suggests that the olfactory pathways are involved in triggering the seizure. The fact that the seizures only occur after smelling roses points to a specific sensory input as the trigger, rather than a general overactivity of the olfactory bulb (option D). There is no indication that the olfactory pathways are crossed with multiple sensory pathways (option A) or that Jahar will experience anosmia (option C).
